Abstract

It is known that there are two inequivalent $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded $osp(1|2)$ Lie superalgebras. Their affine extensions are investigated and it is shown that one of them admits two central elements, one is non-graded and the other is $(1,1)$-graded. The affine $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-$osp(1|2)$ algebras are used by the Sugawara construction to study possible $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extensions of the Virasoro algebra. We obtain a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded Virasoro algebra with a non-trivially graded central element. Throughout the investigation, invariant bilinear forms on $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded superalgebras play a crucial role, so a theory of invariant bilinear forms is also developed.<br />Comment: 21 pages, no figures, contribution to GROUP33/35 held in Cotonou, Benin, July 15 - 19, 2024
